HOUP LA!
Railroad Surveys to be Actively
Pushed Into the Clear.
Water Basin this Year.
ANOTHER SURVEY.

The deep interest with which the
people of Camas prairie have read Of
the proposed railroad survey down the
Little Salmon will be greatly intensified
when they learn that there is now OUT
fitting in Lewiston another party Of
surveyors who have just arrived from
the headquarters Of the Union Pacific at
Omaha. We learn-through grapevine
dispatches-that the party are surveying
through the Tammany hollow route, to.
Camas prairie and will continue south
from this point and county surveying
north from the Weiser river. Our own
correspondence with the Union Pacific
magnates has developed information
which inspires the belief that the Little
Salmon route will be built without
delay. provided the surveys now pro-
crossing show the route to be practicable
for railroad. We betray no confidence
in stating that it is the intention of tho
company to eventually extend the Utah
Northern system over the Bitter Root
divide and down to Lewiston, and that
it will affect junction with the Little
Salmon route at the most feasible point
on the Clearwater-probably at the
mouth of Cottonwood creek.
It is too early in the season to specu--
late upon the probability Of construction
of any part of the road this year. but we
are we'll enough informed of the plans
of the company to hazard the prediction
that Camas Prairie will this time next
year be the theater of active railroad
building-always provided the surveys
show practicable route. The Union
Pacific is not brilliant or showy line.
1t does not announce the construction
of branch roads with flourish Of trum-
pets, but builds them while other COM
panies are looking over the field and
counting the cost. Witness Its triumphs
in the Oregon short line and the Utah
northern through what was long deemed
an impracticable and forbidding country.
The long years of waiting are over.
The beginning Of the end is here.
Let every farmer on this prairie bear
it in mind that while the work of rail-
road development is going on there will
be large and lucrative market for pro-
duce of all kinds. There has never been
enough raised here to supply the home
market, and we want to impress upon
everybody the necessity Of providing
abundance of provender to supply the
enormous demand which railroad con-
struction always brings. Paste 1t in
your hat; inscribe it on the tablets OF
your memory; pound it into your head
with club that there will be demand
for every pound of produce you can
raise and that you can sell 1t at your
own price. A little rightly directed
energy at this particular season will
help you cancel that mortgage.
